The Jesus Cares campers have arrived. The Sonshine campers now have the opportunity to share Camp Phillip with special needs individuals from all over Wisconsin. The kids handled the new arrivals wonderfully. They greeted them with high fives and hellos and few showed any sign of trepidation. I'd like to thank the children for the positive attitude and wonderful greetings. I wish you could have seen it!
The staff and campers drank lots of water today and will have to for the rest of the week in order to beat the heat. Counselors carried water jugs with them to every activity and many of the activities included campers throwing or shooting water at each other. Campfire gave all the campers a chance to show off their musical and whacking skills with Boomwhackers. The boys learned and performed Mary had a Little Lamb while the girls did their best to whack out a rendition of The Chicken Dance. All this while Joe and Topher presented T-shirt ideas that may or may not be appearing in the store sometime soon.
Colossians 2:6-7 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness.
During the morning password Steph demonstrated how taking care of a plant is like taking care of our faith. We need to continue to give it the nourishment it needs. During devotion, Ben built on this idea of nourishing our faith, by giving us an illustration about how distractions can pull us away from our Savior Jesus Christ. Thankfully, we have a God who knows all the distractions we face, but still loves us anyways and sent his son to die for us.
